Aside from the claim that this file qualifies for use without permission under fair use, this file is also available under a license that permits unrestricted redistribution in unaltered form but forbids derivative works. Files licensed under such terms do not meet the definition of Free Cultural Works as adopted by the Wikimedia Foundation, and are therefore considered non-free on Wikipedia and may only be used under Wikipedia's non-free content policy. This tag must only be used with a non-free license tag and a valid fair use rationale as required by policy. |
